Director of Photography with Full Camera & Lighting Packages
Hi, I’m Sean Li, NYC-based Director of Photography and founder of Stray Frames Productions. I have 15+ years of experience working in professional filmmaking and delivering comprehensive camera and lighting packages to the New York Tri-state area and beyond.
I’m excited to build and contribute to anything possible. Whether it’s by being passionately creative in storytelling or unapologetically technical in execution, I aim to make great things with great people.
I love being on set. I love collaborating with other creative and technical minds. And I love creating powerful content that was only an idea not long ago. That’s what I strive for, and I look forward to making it happen together.
Reach out anytime, and visit my company’s About page to learn more about what drives me.
